Aristotle — "The male is more divine than the female."

"The greatest virtues are those which are most useful to other persons."

"For that some should rule and others be ruled is a thing not only necessary, but expedient; from the hour of their birth, some are marked out for subjection, others for rule."

"Nature would like to distinguish between the bodies of freemen and slaves, making the one strong for servile labor, the other upright, and although useless for such services, useful for political life…"

"The slave is wholly lacking the deliberative element; the female has it but it lacks authority; the child has it but it is incomplete."

"The female is also more given to memory and more retentive, and more apt to remember."
